What the fuck did I watch…

YouTube loves me, and in an attempt to cure me of my vatnikism now the algorithm serves me content intended to take me out of my bubble. So here is a video featuring Anton Shekhovtsov (his ass was featured on this blog here) and Alexander Etkind, some academic I never heard about…

Watch it here if you have an hour of your life to spend:

So, Mr. Etkind posits that Russia is a petro-state exporting hydrocarbons and is fundamentally threatened by the way Western countries are developing away from fossil fuels. He divides the modernity into two. Paleo modernity and gay modernity…

Gay modernity, Karl, gay… modernity. 😂 Gay modernity is basically faggots and solar panels. 😂 And of course Russia has no time for any of this. Russia has a developed nuclear sector, and solar panels are not suitable for Russia where it snows heavily and part of the country is in the dark throughout winter. Perhaps wind and waves can have more success in Russia.

This said, a large part of Europe and North America is in the same predicament. It is not Russia that is threatened by Climate Action, it is the European and North American states without hydrocarbons that feel threatened by oil the producing Russia, the Arab World, or the US Midwest. The Californians do not want to depend on red states for energy. And the same shit is happening in Europe.
